Resilience Of South Korean Democracy

In the morning of December 4, South Korean people woke up to a terrible news: their President Yoon Suk-yeol had imposed a martial law in previous night but it was swiftly thwarted by the National Assembly where opposition party - Democratic Party – holds a majority. As soon as the reports of imposition martial law spread like a wild fire, political parties, civil society members, trade unions, and students took to the streets, braving the freezing cold. Protesters gathered in front of the Assembly building, with raucous call: 'Impeach Yoon Seok Yeol.'
